Camera device and method for assembling camera device

Abstract

A camera unit (1) of a camera device includes: a lens unit (2) having a size according to zoom magnification; a tilt chassis (3) that rotatably supports the lens unit (2) in a tilt direction; and a pan chassis (4) that rotatably supports the lens unit (2) in a pan direction through the tilt chassis (3). The tilt chassis (3) has a plurality of attaching positions to the pan chassis (4). Additionally, the tilt chassis (3) is attached to the pan chassis (4) at an attaching position of the plurality of attaching positions according to the size of the lens unit (2). As a result of this, cost, time, and labor required for development of the chassis can be reduced, and development efficiency of the chassis is improved.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a camera device including a lens unit, which has different sizes according to zoom magnification and, in particular, to a technique that improves development efficiency of a chassis for holding the lens unit.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Conventionally, a camera device having a zoom function has been generally known (for example, refer to Patent Literature 1). A lens unit of such camera device is often designed in different sizes according to zoom magnification. For example, a size (a width and a height) of a lens unit for large zoom magnification (a lens unit for 30× zoom magnification) is designed larger than that for small zoom magnification (for example, a lens unit for 22× zoom magnification).[0003]However, in a conventional camera device, when lens units for different zoom magnification have been developed individually, the development of chassis is costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive since the chassis are individually design...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a camera device with improved development efficiency of a chassis for holding a lens unit. The invention provides a camera device with a lens unit that can be developed for different zoom magnification without requiring a separate chassis for each size. Instead, a tilt chassis is attached to the lens unit and a pan chassis is attached to the tilt chassis, allowing for the attachment at different positions on the pan chassis based on the size of the lens unit. This reduces the cost, time, and labor required for development of the chassis and improves development efficiency. The invention also includes a camera device with a lens unit that has a width and height according to zoom magnification, and a tilt chassis with multiple attaching positions in both the width and height directions of the lens unit.

Problems solved by technology

However, in a conventional camera device, when lens units for different zoom magnification have been developed individually, the development of chassis is costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive since the chassis are individually designed for every size of the lens unit.

As described above, development efficiency of the chassis has been low in the conventional camera device.
